Our Selected Contribution to the Discipline of Biomedical Engineering

Rehabilitation Engineering: Design and development of therapeutic and rehabilitation devices and procedures. Development of devices for semi closed loop systems in diabetes for Functional Insulin Treatment and related structured educational modules and media, guided breathing for hypertension

Medical Imaging: To provide graphic displays of detail and physiological function of cardiovascular autonomic control (HRV, telemetric heart rate variability analysis in time and frequency domain)

Biomechanics: Study of static and fluid mechanics associated with physiologic systems (Invention and patent for an insulin pump)

Physiologic Modeling, Simulation and Control: Use of computer simulations to develop an understanding of physiologic relationships (invention and prototyping of hand-held data acquisition device “Robert”), co- development of patient records (Mysugr)

Biosensors: Detection of biologic events and their conversion to electrical signals: application to heart rate variability (HRV, short term spectral analysis including orthostatic load) and EEG in hypoglycaemia unawareness (LORETA)

Prosthetic Devices and Artificial Organs: Design and development of devices for replacement or augmentation of bodily function (phrenic pacemaker, insulin pumps)
